Date change on "By the Aero-Mail. A Romance of To-Morrow"
Hi, and welcome. I have a question about your proposed change of publication date for By the Aero-Mail. A Romance of To-Morrow from April, 1919 to May, 1919. What is your source for that date? The 1919-04-00 came from Science-Fiction: The Early Years, which places the first publication in the April, 1919 edition of The Strand Magazine (see this Google Books scan).
If you click on the title above, you'll notice we have the April, 1919 appearance recorded, so your change would make the first publication date later than the date of the first publication we have it appearing in.
I did a little searching on Google Books, and I found the piece indeed appeared on p. 405 in Volume 57 of The Strand Magazine. See this search. Unfortunately, it's a snippet view, but searching for May in the same volume shows this, which suggests April started on p. 236 and May started on p. 449, placing p. 405 in the April edition.
But stranger things have happened, so I am wondering where you found the date. You can reply here by editing this section (click on the "edit" link at the top right of this text). Putting a colon(s) at the beginning of your response indents (one level per colon), separating your comments from mine. Thanks. --MartyD 11:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
